eEye's Strategic Execution, Broad Portfolio of Vulnerability Management Software and Elite Research Team Allow it to Achieve Top Placement
(ALISO VIEJO, CA) October 5, 2004 — eEye Digital Security, a leading developer of vulnerability management software solutions for enterprise security, today announced that it has been named the fastest growing software company in Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Orange County, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services firms. In addition to being named the fastest growing software company, eEye has been ranked number seven out of the fifty companies selected for the Fast 50 program. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over five years, from 1999–2003. During this time, eEye grew its sales 1,136 percent.
"This award highlights the massive growth eEye has seen as a result of our strategic execution, broad portfolio of vulnerability management software and elite research team," stated Firas Bushnaq, eEye Digital Security's Co-Founder and Co-CEO. "In a rapidly consolidating industry, this award is proof positive that eEye has what it takes to become a long-term security software leader."
eEye's advanced software technology powers the industry’s most comprehensive vulnerability management solutions, protecting global enterprises before, during and after attacks. While many security software vendors provide one or two pieces of the vulnerability management puzzle, eEye provides its global enterprise customers with a comprehensive and fully integrated software suite. eEye's software identifies vulnerabilities prior to attacks, delivers best-of-breed protection for digital assets and sensitive information during attacks, and conducts network forensics to evaluate overall security posture post attack. This breadth of vulnerability management products is unparalleled in the industry.
Over the last five years, eEye has been recognized as the preeminent organization in the discovery of the most critical vulnerabilities in various platforms and applications, including the vulnerabilities subsequently leveraged by the Sasser, Witty, Code Red and Sapphire worms, as well as the Microsoft ASN vulnerability and hundreds of other important discoveries. This expertise gives eEye a distinct advantage in designing software solutions for the assessment and remediation of vulnerabilities and the prevention of the attacks that leverage them.
"The Deloitte Orange County Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and temerity to succeed despite a very challenging technology environment," said Mark Miskinis, Deloitte partner, Technology, Media & Telecommunications practice, Costa Mesa. "We applaud the successes of eEye Digital Security and acknowledge their place as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years."
Winners of the 19 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology companies.
